Topic: a copy of Motherboard Monitor? (Read 2443 times)

i need a simple no-frills tool to monitor my mainboard's and gpu's temperatures. i remember Motherboard Monitor being the de-facto tool in this category but i couldn't find the webpage anymore. so if anyone has a clue to its whereabouts or have a copy of it, please share it here. tia..

if you're primarily interested in monitoring the graphic chips, MSI Afterburner is another good utility to check out.

My overclocking fanatic and hardcore gaming nephew swears by it. Says it's the best tool out there when you want to "push it till it smokes." Caveat emptor if you're using it to tweak as opposed to just monitor, I guess.

Motherboard Monitor is a utility designed by Alexander Van Kaam for Microsoft Windows that provides live information about the state of a motherboard and other hardware, including temperatures, voltages, fan speeds, and more.

On July 6, 2004, it was announced that development on Motherboard Monitor has been stopped. However on September 13, 2006, a new update (Update 2) was released adding slightly more compatibility with new motherboards.

The author stopped development because he said that motherboard manufacturers at the time were becoming really resistant to providing the technical specs needed for his program to operate. He'd wait months for his correspondence to be answered and the answers he needed would be incomplete or nonexistent.

MBM is only of use who have very old systems. It's a shame because it was truly awesome with all the functionality it provided.
